Byron and Don Juan
18 October 2024, 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Ella Taylor and Jocelyn Freeman have curated a brilliantly conceived programme, focused on and inspired by Lord Byron’s Don Juan. Within this, they include new songs by the emerging star composer Emily Hazrati (Prologue and Justice are both world premiere performances), with texts by Joseph Spence written in a response to Don Juan that is both humorous and poignant. They also perform songs by Robert Schumann and Samuel Barber.
